Chapter: Act 1 - Ignition

A greater force expresses its will upon the world, tipping the balances humanity had become comfortable with and starting a chain reaction that will set the world ablaze.

… Or… we could go focus on the lives of teenage girlfriends Sarah Gains and Ashley Sims. That sounds good. Let’s go with that instead.

Update - 5-13-2025

Back at the beginning of April, I'd went on a bit of hiatus to make the end of Act 1 this magnificent (admittedly basic) animatic. Pretty much keyframes with limited animation. I had some time between conventions and really thought I'd get to dig into this.

Now, after a lengthy commission queue (because income), a near-week-long power outage (Right after a big grocery trip. Lost everything), and setting up a VGen account (https://vgen.co/Aaronmizuno because income), I have nothing for that animatic and a show looms.

I knew it was a long shot, but we're all doing what we can. I'll be resuming normal updates for now, with hopes of eventually rounding back to that animatic plan.

Update - 2-04-2025

Big thanks to everyone still sticking around.
There's been a lot of weird website outages thanks in part to a DDOS attack on some of the Dreamhost-related servers that houses this humble webcomic. My inbox is spammed with dozens of mini-outages. Fun.

Fun in a not-sarcastic tone is the slew of conventions we're currently lined up for. We just came back from Setsucon in Altoona, PA, and have already been confirmed for nine more by July. Big relief, that.

In-story, we're (finally) approaching the end of Act 1. It only took thirteen years.

    I’m glad Ash got the chance to unironically quote Monty Python.

    Having a helicopter forcibly removed while you’re riding in it is definitely a life changing event.

    Just realized: Ash's hair got longer. A LOT longer. Sare-length. Very, very cool detail, Ryan. Hella good transformation. Love panel…

    I thought OMG, Ash is dead, and lookee lookee at what happened instead! (*cues up Stravinsky's Firebird Suite*) The dress…
